George Santos Complains Prison Conditions Are 'Neglect of Human Dignity

[Torchlight]

Former Representative George Santos, a New York Republican, complained in a new op-ed that the prison facility where he's spent just over a month displays "a culture of neglect" and conditions that border on "criminal negligence."

Santos reported to federal custody on July 25 to begin an 87-month sentence after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. The Bureau of Prisons placed him at the Fairton complex in southern New Jersey.

The first openly gay non-incumbent Republican to be elected to Congress, Santos' 2022 victory surprised pundits as New York's 3rd District had been won by President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points two years earlier. But his time in Congress was short-lived due to questions about his character, his past and, later, his criminal activity.

In December 2023, as he faced a 23-count federal indictment and intense scrutiny following the issuance of a House Ethics Committee report, the legislative chamber voted 311 to 114 to expel the freshman representative. Almost all Democrats and 105 Republicans backed the successful effort, making the congressman only the sixth in United States history to be expelled from the House of Representatives.

(and once again, about the only instance conservatives are concerned with prison conditions is when it affects them)

1. Hey George, Republicans don't believe in human dignity, even you should be able to see that

[2MuchNoise]

2. Someone used George Santos and dignity in the same sentence. LOLOLOLOLOL!

[Aristus]

3. I wonder if he's using that putrid little white-power finger gesture around the prison.

Or if he developed enough animal intelligence to realize what a bad survival move that would be.

4. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime(s) . . . .

Meanwhile, boo-hoo.

11. You can thank the G.O.P. for that, Georgie

12. Our prison system is based on torture, vengeance, and some godly religious nonsense.

The republicans like it that way until they wind up in a cell.

Like everything else in this country it is a money making scam.
